They come in round shapes wrapped in some sort of leaf or in the shape of koi fish. Usually they're either eaten, or just put on display. But in my house, once the new year is celebrated and past, mum takes them off the display, cuts it up and fries it til golden brown and crispy. delicious! i love the decoration and the mochibana is so pretty! it sounds something quite similar to nian gao – what the Chinese have in every house on display at Chinese New Year. it’s a sticky, sweet, caramel-brown mochi-like candy.
